The “problem” with spring is that it never lasts long enough for anyone’s liking. Whether I’ve been living in Chicago, with its seemingly endless winters, or Washington, D.C., with its too humid summers, there’s never enough upper 60s/lower 70s, first buds popping on the trees, leave the coat at home and let the world see how pale you’ve grown temperatures for my tastes. Of course, that’s probably what makes it arguably the best time of the year, even if it does seem to only last 15 minutes before you go from just above freezing your ass off to deep in the jungle fucking hot. To celebrate this momentous occasion, I’ve crafted a mix that’s a little laid back, a little bit sunny, but not intentionally too hot to handle. That train leaves the station in about 14 more minutes. From old school bangers to extended funk jams, these are songs to inspire you to kick off your shoes and feel the grass between your toes for the first time in too long. Enjoy it while it lasts.Download:
